Daily Prayer to Our Lady of Jasna Gora

Holy Mother of Jasna Gora, Mediatrix of all graces, you are full of grace, goodness and mercy. I consecrate to you all my thoughts, words and actions, my soul and body. I ask your help and especially your prayers for my salvation. Today I consecrate myself to you, Holy Mother, totally, with body and soul amid joys and sufferings to obtain for myself and others your help on this earth and eternal life in heaven. Amen.

Hymn to the Black Madonna

1. There’s a corner of a country, Which the pilgrims gladly seek, 
   Where In glory stands a portrait of a Queen slashed on the cheek.
   She is grieving, she is caring, she invites us everyone:
   “I’m your Mother, be my daughter, be my son.”
   
   Refrain:
   Madonna, Oh Black Madonna,
   I’m happy Your child to be!
   Oh, grant me, O Black Madonna, that your arms may cradle me.
   
2. In your arms we find the refuge and the warmth of your great love.
   In your arms we do find hope, joy and the strength to go through life.
   In your arms is found the saviour, the Bread, the Truth, and our Way.
   In your arms is found the Peace for which we search.
   Refrain

Novena in Honour of Our Lady of Częstochowa

O Holy Mary, Mother of Jesus and our Mother, we believe in your triumphant Assumption into heaven where angels and saints acclaim you as Queen. Through your Holy Icon, O Our Lady of Mercy, flow healing and wholeness in abundance to all who draw near to it in faith and love.

Queen of Mercy, we turn to you for protection, listen to our prayers and help us in our needs. Do not cease to shine before the pilgrim people of God as a sign of sure hope and consolation. We entrust to you all troubled families, the innocent and unborn children, the elderly with no one to help them, and all who are alone and without hope.

Guide and sustain us, O Virgin Mary, on our journey of faith so that we might always live as true sons and daughters of the Church and obtain for us the grace of eternal salvation. Enable all to meet Christ, the light of the World and its only Saviour, The Way, the Truth and the Life, who reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

Our Lady of Jasna Gora,
ALL: Pray for us

We fly to your patronage, O Holy Mother of God, despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers. O glorious and blessed Virgin. We humbly ask you to be our Lady, our Intercessor, and our Advocate. Reconcile us to your Son. Recommend us to your Son. Bring us to your Son.
